9. Victim Consciousness

BeMethod Vs. Victim Consciousness

What is Victim Consciousness?
In today’s busy world, there are an increasing number of people who are coming forward admitting to having a negative image of themselves – low self-esteem. It is THE secret disease (dis-ease) of society, it is common and unless dealt with, can be seriously disabling.

From the perspective of a victim, the common thread of victim consciousness is that the “sufferer” has had something happen to them – that something or somebody did something and it makes the “victim” feel bad.

In today’s modern thinking where we take responsibility for ourselves, where we are empowered; victimhood is extremely disempowering because it means that the sufferer or victim has no power – “it is not my fault” - it happened to them and there is someone to blame. ….. worryingly this is also encouraging the blame culture, but perhaps more importantly to a persons Wellbeing, it is energetically a denial of  responsibility.

Victim consciousness and blame, as a form of disempowerment is about not taking responsibility for the victim’s contribution to the event that occurred. These feelings are found in people with fractured self esteem – but don’t worry, that just about includes the majority of us! If this irks a little as you read this, remember that emotional discomfort is an indication that something within you has to be dealt with in order for you to be a happier and more fulfilled person.

The underlying problem with victim consciousness is that we have become familiar with these feelings. We become comfortable with the hurt, which is why it known as “familiar pain”. In fact, our protestations and denials of victimhood (when we feel ok) are fairly indicative that we are so familiar and comfortable with these feelings that it is a strong signal that we are actually addicted to them.

Familiarity creates comfort and also a habit, however bad or negative it becomes - it is a place of comfort.

Without that feeling of victimhood and associated pain our core negative belief system feels empty and attracts the situation / a person into our life that will recreate the feeling. Like a pied piper, the tune will play and we will subconsciously enact the dance to attract and bring about a situation to validate and re-enforce the feelings that we are, indeed victims. This is how behavioural patterns are established.

The Battle Lines Are Drawn
Battling victim consciousness requires you to step back for a moment and avoid being drawn into the drama of victimhood. Victim land is only a creation of our own familiar place and is a place created many years ago in childhood. Basically, I am asking you to not judge yourself as there is nothing wrong, but just to carry on reading……

Victimland exists in our subconscious; it is a place that we created when we were growing up at a time when we were egocentric – that the world revolved us. And because the world revolved around us, we became responsible for everything in our lives….

Thus we took responsibility on a subconscious level for every negative that occurred in our field of influence; our parents arguing, separating, divorcing… the list is quite endless, and can include death of someone we knew. The consequences of taking on this burden were that it validated our negative self worth, and fundamentally re-enforced the core limiting belief of; “I am not enough”. I call this the “Not Good Factor” or “NGE”.

(Ironically, as adults we have to relearn that as creators of our life, we have infinite control of our life – a bit like being egocentric again – but this time around with heartcentered awareness – hopefully!)

Psychology as a profession is aware of our core negative and limiting beliefs but on an energetic level, the profession may not quite be so aware of the enormous impact the NGE energy factor has on an individual.

Unless dealt with the NGE will attract situations and people throughout life that will validate our negative feeling of self worth. Whether you believe in the Laws of Attraction or not, what goes around – comes around.

The NGE factor and its energetic legacy is why we find ourselves in victim consciousness and why we play out patterns in our life that validate our negative worth.

A New Perspective - Clarity
So now as an adult we can see this victimland for what it truly is; a subconscious throwback to our early formative years - a “virus” in our own programming system. No fault – no blame – it is just the way it is. 

Victimland is not a real place, nor is it a necessity in our adult lives, in fact it is a hindrance to our growth and our happiness. However in seeking a positive note, victimhood in individuals shows that healing is required.

So you need to remember when things are tough and those old thought patterns surface, they are not yours but your old programming; The feelings may seem real, but victim consciousness is only the grooves of a worn out record that have been buried deep in our subconscious playing an old out of date tune, to draw us in to a childhood drama, a nursery rhyme from our past.

Even if you do not believe in energy or the Laws of Attraction, when familiar situations occur that remind us of our past, they will triggers our NGE and the “tune” plays, and we dance helplessly to the rhythm of the past.

In effect we act out our childhood drama in our adult body!

The Solution
So as an adult we have the means to identify with victim consciousness and understand that it is only a pattern from our past. This is only the first part of your empowerment process.

Fortunately, once recognised for what it really is, you can easily dispel victim consciousness and begin living your life free from the past negative limiting thoughts that hold you back.   And it is pretty easy, too!

If you want to realise your full potential, be free of the past negatives that have held you back, BeMethod will empower you to change your life. By releasing the energy that powers the NGE factor you will allow yourself what you truly deserve; to live your life in the power of the present.

You will see yourself in a positive light; you will take life in its stride. You will understand that life’s obstacles are, in fact, learning experiences. You will have greater appreciation of yourself, a healthier outlook with positive relationships, and understand that positivity attracts positive situations.

You will feel more empowered, more fulfilled as you change the way you think, making the difference as you develop a positive understanding of yourself.

8. How to have a good relationships

How to love a good relationship

We should already know that to have a good relationship with someone, we firstly have to have a good relationship with ourselves. So assuming that we are “OK”, and the relationship we have with another show strain, how do you go about repairing it or making it better?

There are ALWAYS three people in a relationship; you, me and us, unless you are posting on Facebook or YouTube! We are just looking at “me” for a moment.

Whatever is annoying us about someone or a situation is a reflection of ourselves…..  People and events mirror in us what we need to deal with in ourselves. What is evidently annoying you in another is often the part of you that needs to be looked at; be it abandonment, self hatred, worthiness, resentments, struggles to name a few. These sticking points are all part of the tapestry that make us who we are.

We have actually become our own collage of emotions from our past, things that have not been dealt with and each and every frustration we experience in our life is a sign post to look at what is really happening and or what has happened to bring us to where we are today.  

Unknowingly, the laws of attraction will play an enormous part in your relationship with others. You can fight this theory and never learn, or in order to be happier; take a view to reserve judgement and surrender to the thought; that we have co-created the situation to either learn from or not to earn from. The problem is that we just did not realise it.

Not learning, or not being open enough to not wanting to learn will only delay the understanding that everything happens for a reason. Subconsciously we are tuned into self help – in that we attract people and incidences into our lives in order to learn – so what is the point of fighting it?.

So you may as well face it, until we learn what our patterns of behaviour and thinking are nothing will change. So just as in Groundhog day we will repeat the same pattern in our relationships (or our lives) until we do learn!

To break your cycle of relationship destruction, you need to stop running away from pain. It is often the wounds or scars from the past and has very little to do with what is going on around you today.

Meditate on your future happiness and have the courage to stop repeating destructive patterns.

Try looking to your patterns of behaviour when you are hurt. Are you able to name the feelings that you feel rather than accept that you were just angry or very annoyed or irritated….?

What behaviour patterns do you adopt? Shout, run away. Sulk, don’t speak, blame? Be honest with yourself, when hurt do you act like you did years ago as a child? Ask yourself this: are you behaving like you or are acting out as your inner child?

And that perhaps is the crux of relationship management. Are you repeating old patterns from the past rather than living your life to full in the present, without pre-set behavioural fears?

When we do not live in the present and are not “Being”, we are not living in a place of love. Without being with love we live with our past fears, negative life experiences and attract those situations to remind us of how we live our lives “in the past”. Relationships are the perfect venue to play out our fears and neediness from our early years.

How often do you blame the other person? “It is all their fault” – “I am blameless”. This type of thinking gives away your power and reinforces victim consciousness where everyone is to blame but yourself. A relationship is about 3 people, remember? You, me and us.

Take responsibility for your actions, your complicity and take control, so the emphasis is not just about the other person, it is about what they and you have asked for the “us” to learn. 
When the high emotions of drama have ebbed away you can take an honest dispassionate view of events or what happened with that person. When what happened does not hold a strong emotional charge, then you can take a step back and look at what part you and they were playing in the drama.

Our operating system/ our self construct – self esteem - was set a long time ago by our past experiences. To have better relationships we need to be reset and our negative behavioural patterns will change as a result.

Many of us carry unmet needs from our past. A simple way to look at the past is draw a timeline.
         
        Birth      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Death

Ask yourself where you think you are on that line?  Look to your early years near your birth; in your childhood what made you fearful?

There could be just one event that springs to mind or many. It is not so much the situation that matters but the feeling you have associated with them. The feelings attached to the situation are often fear based. The emotions evoked by “that” event or situations should guide you to what happened to you and “made you” who you are today.

Here are a few clues as to how that situation all those years ago perhaps made you feel:
·        I don’t matter
·        I am not worthy
·        I have nothing worthwhile to say
·        I’m not valued
·        I am invisible
·        I’m not lovable
·        Something is wrong with me
·        I’m not OK
·        I’m a disappointment
·        I am not good enough
·        I am powerless

The early hurt may have set your pattern of behaviour from that point until today. Unfortunately, one other law of life is that the majority of people have an inner programme of “I am not good enough” and that flaw in the self esteem is often reinforced by the events that we attract into our life.

With that feeling of low self esteem and any one (or all) of the feelings associated with your childhood like the one’s listed above – you may just begin to understand why you have been struggling with relationships!

Now, this where things get clever but in a simple way.We either live with “love” or not.

When we don’t live in our present with love, we tend to live in our childhood thoughts of victim consciousness. It is that victim hood that we play out everyday. The law of attraction is quite adamant about his, you will attract situations and people into your life to play out that victim role until you learn the secret of living in the moment.

Fortunately, the BeMethod uses the power of emotional release to rid the mind and body of past emotions allowing you to be in the NOW without the baggage of the past. Without the past influencing your actions in the present you are able to have healthier and happier relationships.

The added benefit of releasing you from your past victim consciousness is that it allows you appreciate that everything can be turned around, no matter what.

You will be able to live with gratitude and just “Be”. In fact, you will learn the lesson of “BEING”;   Be in Gratitude, and your rewards will be beyond your imagination………
